IASB has published the 2024 Resolutions Committee Report. The report includes proposals submitted by Association member districts, with analyses and recommendations for each. These proposed resolutions will be presented to and voted on by the IASB Delegate Assembly.
Five proposed resolutions, for IASB Position Statements that reflect the interests of boards of education across the state, are recommended “Do Adopt” by the Resolutions Committee. These are in the areas of dual language, EBF and charter school funding, TIF accountability, Faith’s Law, and health care coverage. Delegates will also vote on the election of IASB officers and a Constitutional amendment.
The full text of proposed resolutions with the sponsoring district’s rationale and the voting committee’s reasoning is included in 2024 Resolutions Committee Report.
IASB member boards are encouraged to review the Resolutions Committee Report and discuss it with the full board to determine a voting preference on each of the proposals. The report was emailed to all school board members on September 27. Three printed copies of the report will be mailed to each member district office. Additional copies may be requested by contacting Alie Wagner of the Governmental Relations team.
The report includes the Delegate Assembly Agenda, a table of contents, Advocacy Core Values, and a checklist and guidelines to help boards decide which resolutions they will support or oppose.
Each IASB member board is entitled to select one member to represent it at the Delegate Assembly to vote on behalf of the board. Once the board of education has selected its delegate, the district’s roster manager can register that individual online.
The annual Delegate Assembly will take place in conjunction with the Joint Annual Conference in Chicago on November 23 at 10:30 a.m.
The IASB Governmental Relations staff will host a webinar on Thursday, October 31 at noon to learn more about the proposed resolutions to be voted on and answer questions about the Delegate Assembly process.
Resolution proposals are submitted each year by school boards that are members of the Association. IASB staff works with the proposing school board(s) as needed, by reviewing and researching proposed resolutions to provide background on current law. Then, each proposed resolution is reviewed and voted on by the Resolutions Committee, made up of 21 school board members from each of the Association’s divisions.
Outcomes from the Delegate Assembly will determine the direction of the Association’s advocacy efforts on behalf of IASB members. Further information and updates will also be posted to the Delegate Assembly webpage.
